Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B
The implementation of the Community Health Promotion Model includes identifying interest by community forums and building the partnership. Counseling and referring teenagers and con-tacting other cities may be used by the nurse but are not part of the steps identified by the Com-munity Health Promotion Model.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A structure in the community for health promotion should be developed through the establish-ment of a steering committee that will plan and coordinate the work. The nurse would not change public policy, but rather provide information based on data to policy makers. The nurse would not be revising objectives in Healthy People 2020 as that is not an action that individuals are able to take. Nursing diagnoses are not written as part of this model.
